Answer: Vegetarians do not eat meat, which lowers their cholesterol and chances of cancer. Meat can make your body run slower and contribute to heart problems. Being a vegetarian also makes you look and feel younger. I've met a 26-year old vegetarian who looks thirteen! No lie!

Answer: That's not necessarily true, their is no scientific studies that support that being a vegetarian increases life span, your B-12 levels and amounts of protein are greatly decreased. Without large amounts of several forms of supplements, you can't maintain a completely vegetarian diet. I have family members who have gone almost straight for about five years before it drastically affects their body, not permanently, but its not a pleasant experience. Meat does not cause cancer or drastically increase cholesterol, insoluble fats do, meat may contain small amounts of these, but a balanced diet is not only healthy, but necessary.

Answer: Complete proteins exist in many foods and combinations of foods. Vegetarians aren't always educated in nutrition, but often more than the general public. You can find examples of unhealthy people with every type of diet because not everyone knows how to eat. Vegetarians, however, do tend to be aware of their diets and eat a balanced diet.

Also said "Without large amounts of several forms of supplements, you can't maintain a completely vegetarian diet"

80 million Hindus and Buddhists would disagree. They have been doing it for centuries.

The difference between a life cycle and a life span?

There are many types of cycles but I'm going to assume you're talking about the life cycle, life cycle is continued and never stopped until the creatures all have pass away. The life span is an average life time usually in years, like the hamster/gerbil life span is 3-4 years a dog life span is 12-14 years. The life cycle would just be, well life.
